306-034-420-158

Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-034-420-158 is a dual-edge card edge connector featuring 34 positions with female contacts. It utilizes a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) contact spacing and accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57mm). The connector employs tin plating on the contacts and features a green thermoplastic insulator body. Designed for panel mount installation via through-hole termination, it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C. This component belongs to the 306 series, offering a low-profile design suitable for standard board applications.

Feature Summary

• Dual-edge configuration with 34 female contact positions
• Accepts 0.062 inch nominal thickness PCBs
• Low-profile insulator body construction

Applications

• Standard card edge interconnect systems
• Panel-mounted electronic assemblies
• Industrial control board connections

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official 306 Series Ordering Guide to ensure correct pin count and termination style. Confirm that the required PCB thickness aligns with the 0.062-inch specification. Check current availability status as lead times may vary. Ensure compliance with RoHS3 requirements if applicable to your assembly standards before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a dual-edge connector with 34 positions and 0.156-inch spacing is required. It is appropriate for applications needing through-hole termination and tin-plated contacts. Consider the low-profile body height for space-constrained designs. Verify compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 0.062 inches. Compare against single-edge alternatives if only one side of the board requires connection.

Part Context

This component is part of the EDAC 306 Series, which specializes in standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and termination options. The 306-034-420-158 specifically addresses needs for dual-edge connectivity with a moderate number of pins. It shares design characteristics with other models in the series, such as consistent spacing and mounting styles, ensuring interchangeability within system architectures requiring similar form factors.

Replacement Considerations

Consult the EDAC 306 Series cross-reference data for direct substitutes. Equivalent parts must match the 34-position count, 0.156-inch spacing, and dual-edge configuration. Verify that alternative manufacturers offer compatible PCB thickness acceptance and termination methods. Ensure environmental ratings meet or exceed the original specifications.
